For analysis econometric tools such as, descriptive analysis, ADF test for unit root, D-W Statistic, L-Jung Box Q Statistic, BreuschPagan Test, AR (1) Model, GARCH (1,1) and EGARCH (1,1) Model has been used. The objective of the paper is to determine if volatility spillover in one market influence the volatility of returns in the other market. GARCH (1, 1) and EGARCH (1,1) models used for modelling of spillover between returns of foreign stock exchanges and National stock exchange.
